One of the most persistent issues pet owners face is how to clean a house effectively and efficiently to not only provide elegance to your home but also to ensure that you and your pets are living in a healthy environment.

Removing Pet Hair

This should be done frequently. Animal hair can be found on floors, furniture, and clothing which can make it difficult to keep under control. We suggest placing an old towel or sheet where your pet sleeps so you can easily shake the hair off outside before washing it. This will prevent hair from sticking to other clothes that can spread to the furniture and floors.

Removing Pet Stains

The sooner the better! Dog urine not only affects the smell of your sparkling clean house, it can permanently change the dye in carpeting. Try cleaning the stain with a mixture of baking soda and vinegar. Create a paste made from equal parts vinegar and baking soda and rub the stain with it until you see it being removed completely from the fabric or surface. If the stain persists, try putting a couple tablespoons of vinegar and laundry detergent in a bucket of water to soak the material or clothing overnight. Rinse, wash and repeat as needed!

Bathe Your Pet Regularly

Bathing your pet regularly is a surefire way to keep the entire house clean. Use a shampoo specifically for the type of pet you have and be sure it is low-foaming so it rinses away easily and does not strip essential nutrients from the fur.
